Jeremiah 42
1 And they come near—all the heads of the forces, and Johanan son of Kareah, and Jezaniah son of Hoshaiah, and all the people from the least even to the greatest—
Nígbà náà ní gbogbo àwọn olórí ogun àti Johanani ọmọkùnrin Karea àti Jesaniah ọmọkùnrin Hoṣaiah àti kékeré títí dé orí ẹni ńlá wá.
2 and they say to Jeremiah the prophet, “Please let our supplication fall before you, and pray for us to your God YHWH for all this remnant; for we have been left a few out of many, as your eyes see us;
Sí ọ̀dọ̀ Jeremiah wòlíì náà, wọ́n sì sọ fún un pé, “Jọ̀wọ́ gbọ́ ẹ̀bẹ̀ wa, kí o sì gbàdúrà sí Olúwa Ọlọ́run rẹ fún gbogbo ìyókù yìí. Nítorí gẹ́gẹ́ bi ìwọ ṣe rí i nísinsin yìí pé a pọ̀ níye nígbà kan rí; ṣùgbọ́n báyìí àwa díẹ̀ la ṣẹ́kù.
3 and your God YHWH declares to us the way in which we walk, and the thing that we do.”
Gbàdúrà pé kí Olúwa Ọlọ́run rẹ sọ ibi tí àwa yóò lọ fún wa àti ohun tí àwa yóò ṣe.”
4 And Jeremiah the prophet says to them, “I have heard: behold, I am praying to your God YHWH according to your words, and it has come to pass, the whole word that YHWH answers you, I declare to you—I do not withhold a word from you.”
Wòlíì Jeremiah sì dáhùn wí pé, “Mo ti gbọ́. Èmi yóò gbàdúrà sí Olúwa Ọlọ́run yín gẹ́gẹ́ bí ẹ̀yin ṣe béèrè. Èmi yóò sọ gbogbo ohun tí Olúwa bá sọ fún un yín, ń kò sì ní fi ohunkóhun pamọ́ fún un yín.”
5 And they have said to Jeremiah, “YHWH is against us for a true and faithful witness, if—according to all the word with which your God YHWH sends you to us—we do not do so.
Nígbà náà ni wọ́n sọ fún Jeremiah wí pé, “Kí Olúwa ṣe ẹlẹ́rìí òtítọ́ àti òdodo láàrín wa, bí àwa kò bá ṣe gẹ́gẹ́ bí gbogbo ohun tí Olúwa Ọlọ́run rẹ bá rán ọ láti sọ fún wa.
6 Whether [it is] good or evil, to the voice of our God YHWH, to whom we are sending you, we listen; because it is good for us when we listen to the voice of our God YHWH.”
Ìbá à ṣe rere, ìbá à ṣe búburú, àwa yóò gbọ́rọ̀ sí Olúwa Ọlọ́run wa, èyí tí àwa ń rán ọ sí, kí ó ba à lè dára fún wa. Nítorí pé àwa yóò gbọ́rọ̀ sí Olúwa Ọlọ́run wa.”
7 And it comes to pass, at the end of ten days, that there is a word of YHWH to Jeremiah,
Lẹ́yìn ọjọ́ mẹ́wàá, ọ̀rọ̀ Olúwa tọ Jeremiah wá,
8 and he calls to Johanan son of Kareah, and to all the heads of the forces that [are] with him, and to all the people, from the least even to the greatest,
O sì pe Johanani ọmọkùnrin Karea àti gbogbo àwọn olórí ogun tí wọ́n wà pẹ̀lú rẹ̀; àti gbogbo àwọn ènìyàn láti orí ẹni tí ó kéré dé orí ẹni ńlá.
9 and he says to them, “Thus said YHWH, God of Israel, to whom you sent me, to cause your supplication to fall before Him:
Ó sì wí fún wọn pé, “Èyí ni ohun tí Olúwa Ọlọ́run àwọn Israẹli wí: ‘Èyí ni ẹni tí ẹ̀yin ti rán láti gbé ẹ̀bẹ̀ yín lọ síwájú mi.
10 If you certainly dwell in this land, then I have built you up, and I do not throw down; and I have planted you, and I do not pluck up; for I have relented concerning the calamity that I have done to you.
Bí ẹ̀yin bá gbé ní ilẹ̀ yìí, èmi yóò gbé e yín ró, n kò sí ní fà yín lulẹ̀, èmi yóò gbìn yín, n kì yóò fà yín tu nítorí wí pé èmi yí ọkàn padà ní ti ibi tí mo ti ṣe sí i yín.
11 Do not be afraid of the king of Babylon, whom you are afraid of; do not be afraid of him—a declaration of YHWH—for I [am] with you, to save you, and to deliver you from his hand.
Ẹ má ṣe bẹ̀rù ọba Babeli tí ẹ̀yin ń bẹ̀rù, báyìí ẹ má ṣe bẹ̀rù rẹ̀ ni Olúwa wí; nítorí tí èmi wà pẹ̀lú yín láti pa yín mọ́ àti láti gbà yín ní ọwọ́ rẹ̀.
12 And I give mercies to you, and he has pitied you, and caused you to return to your own ground.
Èmi yóò fi àánú hàn sí i yín, kí ó lè ṣàánú fún un yín, kí ó sì mú un yín padà sí ilẹ̀ yín.’
13 And if you are saying, We do not dwell in this land—not to listen to the voice of your God YHWH,
“Ṣùgbọ́n sá, bí ẹ̀yin bá wí pé, ‘Àwa kò ní gbé ilẹ̀ yìí,’ ẹ̀yin ti ṣe àìgbọ́ràn sí Olúwa Ọlọ́run yín.
14 saying, No; but we enter the land of Egypt, that we see no war, and do not hear the sound of a horn, and are not hungry for bread; and we dwell there—
Àti pé bí ẹ̀yin bá wí pé, ‘Bẹ́ẹ̀ kọ́, àwa yóò lọ gbé ní Ejibiti; níbi tí àwa kì yóò rí ìró ogunkógun, tí a kì yóò sì gbọ́ ìró fèrè, tí ebi oúnjẹ kì yóò sì pa wá, níbẹ̀ ni àwa ó sì máa gbé,’
15 And now, therefore, hear a word of YHWH, O remnant of Judah! Thus said YHWH of Hosts, God of Israel: If you really set your faces to enter Egypt, and have gone to sojourn there,
nítorí náà, ẹ gbọ́ ọ̀rọ̀ Olúwa ẹ̀yin ìyókù Juda èyí ni ohun tí Olúwa Ọlọ́run àwọn ọmọ-ogun Israẹli wí: ‘Bí ẹ̀yin bá pinnu láti lọ sí Ejibiti láti lọ ṣe àtìpó níbẹ̀.
16 then it has come to pass, the sword that you are afraid of, overtakes you there, in the land of Egypt; and the hunger, because of which you are sorrowful, cleaves after you there in Egypt, and there you die.
Yóò sì ṣe, idà tí ẹ̀yin bẹ̀rù yóò sì lé e yín bá níbẹ̀; àti ìyanu náà tí ẹ̀yin ń bẹ̀rù yóò sì tẹ̀lé yín lọ sí Ejibiti àti pé ibẹ̀ ni ẹ̀yin yóò kú sí.
17 Thus are all the men who have set their faces to enter Egypt to sojourn there; they die—by sword, by hunger, and by pestilence, and there is not a remnant and an escaped one to them, because of the calamity that I am bringing in on them;
Nítorí náà, gbogbo àwọn tí ó ti pinnu láti ṣe àtìpó ní Ejibiti ni yóò ti ipa idà kú, ìyàn àti àjàkálẹ̀-ààrùn kò sì ní jẹ́ kí ẹnikẹ́ni nínú wọn yè tàbí sá àsálà nínú ibi tí èmi yóò mú wá sórí wọn.’
18 for thus said YHWH of Hosts, God of Israel: As My anger and My fury have been poured out on the inhabitants of Jerusalem, so My fury is poured out on you in your entering Egypt, and you have been for an execration, and for an astonishment, and for a reviling, and for a reproach, and you do not see this place anymore.
Báyìí ni ohun tí Olúwa àwọn ọmọ-ogun Ọlọ́run Israẹli wí: ‘Gẹ́gẹ́ bí èmi ti da ìbínú àti ìrunú síta sórí àwọn tí ó ń gbé ní Jerusalẹmu, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni ìrunú mi yóò dà síta sórí yín, nígbà tí ẹ̀yin bá lọ sí Ejibiti. Ẹ̀yin ó sì di ẹni ègún àti ẹni ẹ̀gàn àti ẹ̀sín, ẹ̀yin kì yóò sì rí ibí yìí mọ́.’
19 YHWH has spoken against you, O remnant of Judah, do not enter Egypt: certainly know that I have testified against you today;
“Ẹ̀yin yòókù Juda, Olúwa ti sọ fún un yín pé, ‘Kí ẹ má ṣe lọ sí Ejibiti.’ Ẹ mọ èyí dájú, èmi kìlọ̀ fún un yín lónìí,
20 for you have showed yourselves perverse in your souls, for you sent me to your God YHWH, saying, Pray for us to our God YHWH, and according to all that our God YHWH says, so declare to us, and we have done [it];
pé àṣìṣe ńlá gbá à ni ẹ̀yin ṣe nígbà tí ẹ̀yin rán mi sí Olúwa Ọlọ́run yín pé, ‘Gbàdúrà sí Olúwa Ọlọ́run wa fún wa; sọ fún wa gbogbo ohun tí ó bá sọ, àwa yóò sì ṣe é.’
21 and I declare to you today, and you have not listened to the voice of your God YHWH, and to anything with which He has sent me to you.
Mo ti sọ fún un yín lónìí, ṣùgbọ́n síbẹ̀ ẹ̀yin kò tí ì gbọ́ ohùn Olúwa Ọlọ́run yín, àti gbogbo ohun tí ó rán mi láti sọ fún un yín.
22 And now, certainly know that by sword, by famine, and by pestilence you die, in the place that you have desired to go to sojourn there.”
Ǹjẹ́ nísinsin yìí ẹ mọ èyí dájú pé, ẹ̀yin yóò kú nípa idà, ìyàn àti àjàkálẹ̀-ààrùn níbikíbi tí ẹ̀yin bá fẹ́ lọ láti ṣe àtìpó.”
